Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from Risca to Cardiff, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Risca to Cardiff ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Risca to Cardiff more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
